If the leaked majority ruling is accurate, Roe v. Wade may be overturned. After Politico’s bombshell report Monday night, Democratic lawmakers, especially on the far left, called for drastic action to “codify Roe.”
“People elected Democrats precisely so we could lead in perilous moments like these- to codify Roe, hold corruption accountable, & have a President who uses his legal authority to break through Congressional gridlock on items from student debt to climate,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tweeted. “It’s time to be decisive, lead with confidence, fight for a prosperous future for all and protect the vulnerable.”

It’s high time we do it.

“Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said. “And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.”

“Let’s be clear: The right to an abortion is sacred,” Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. and U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman claimed. “Democrats have to act quickly – get rid of the filibuster to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act + finally codify Roe into law. We cannot afford to wait.”
